Racing! Eclipse Awards are around the corner
Hello, my name is John Cherwa and welcome back to our horse racing newsletter as Santa Anita suffers its first race fatality of the meeting.
The Eclipse Awards are going to be announced in a few days and the voting ends today. Of course, I waited to almost the last minute to vote. It was actually more difficult to come up with the third-place vote in many of the categories than it was the first-place choice. In fact, third was much more difficult.
There were only a couple of categories where it was difficult to come up with a winner—2-year-old male and turf female. Everything else was pretty easy.
So, here’s a look at how I see the Eclipse Awards.
2-year-old Male: 1. Storm the Court, 2. Dennis’ Moment, 3. Tiz the Law. This is one of the few really difficult categories. I went with the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile winner Storm the Court even though I think Dennis’ Moment is the best horse. If Dennis had come back for one other race, and won, I might have gone with him. But draw a line through his BC Juvenile after a very compromised start. Holding my nose on Tiz the Law, who would have been my choice if he had won the Kentucky Jockey Cup, but he didn’t. You get penalized for skipping the BC.

2-year-old Female: 1. British Idiom, 2. Sharing, 3. Bast. British Idiom won the BC Juvenile Fillies and Sharing won the BC Juvenile Fillies Turf. Bast has won three Grade 1s and was third in the BC Juvenile Fillies. Donna Veloce was on the outside looking on.
3-year-old male: 1. Maximum Security, 2. Omaha Beach, 3. Code of Honor. If only Omaha Beach had won the BC Dirt Mile, he would have been my choice. But he didn’t. Maximum Security did everything he needed to do to earn this. Code of Honor over-reached by running in the Classic.
3-year-old female: 1. Covfefe, 2. Serengeti Empress, 3. Dunbar Road. This was easy to pick as Covfefe had five wins in six starts including a win in the BC Filly and Mare Sprint. Serengeti Empress and Dunbar Road held their own against older horses in the BC Distaff.
Older dirt male: 1. Mitole, 2. Vino Rosso, 3. McKinzie. Tough choice among the top two picks. Do you go for the route horse or the sprinter? It was close but in the end I went with six of seven wins and a BC win. McKinzie is a tough choice but second in the BC Classic was the difference.
Older dirt female: 1. Midnight Bisou, 2. Blue Prize, 3. Elate. The tough part of this category is figuring who to vote third. Midnight Bisou, even though she didn’t win the Distaff, won every other race. She was second to Blue Prize. Elate didn’t have a Grade 1 win but some tough losses to ones in front of her. Ran against the boys in the Classic.
Male sprint: 1. Mitole, 2. Imperial Hint, 3. World of Trouble. Mitole is the easy winner here. Imperial Hint and World of Trouble skipped the BC but both have two Grade 1 wins.
Female sprint: 1. Covfefe, 2. Belvoir Bay, 3. Come Dancing. Covfefe is the easy winner here, especially taking the BC Filly and Mare Sprint. Belvoir Bay won the BC Turf Sprint and Come Dancing had four graded stakes wins.
Male turf: 1. Bricks and Mortar, 2. Mo Forza, 3. Desert Encounter. Bricks and Mortar should win every category he’s eligible. Six of six including a troubled-trip win in the BC Turf is all you need to know. Mo Forza has two Grade 1 wins in a row including the Mathis Brothers Mile at opening day of Santa Anita. Desert Encounter has four wins in a row including a Grade 1.
Female turf: 1. Sistercharlie, 2. Uni, 3. Got Stormy. This is the other really difficult one to figure out the best horse. Uni won the BC Mile while Sistercharlie was third in the BC Filly and Mare Turf. But Sistercharlie has three Grade 1 wins and Uni only two. Can’t go wrong either way. Got Stormy was second in the BC Mile.
Steeplechase: 1. Winston C, 2. Brain Power, 3. Scorpiancer. I’ve got to say there are few categories I care less about. Winston C won five races this year, three of them in Britain. He did not run in the Grand National, though. Brain Power did win the Grand National by 15 lengths over Scorpiancer.
Apprentice jockey: 1. Angel Diaz, 2. Kazushi Kimura, 3. Julio Correa. This is a category that may be time to send packing. Diaz has way more wins than anyone else but he’s been running at a lower level. Kimura and Correa have about the same statistics.
Jockey: 1. Irad Ortiz, Jr., 2. Jose Ortiz, 3. Joel Rosario. Irad Ortiz has the most wins and most money won, a fairly easy choice. He also rides Bricks and Mortar. Jose Ortiz also wins big on New York circuit. Joel Rosario was hurt when he lost weeks racing when Santa Anita closed in the Spring.
Owner: 1. Klaravich Stables and William H. Lawrence, 2. Gary Barber, 3. Hronis Racing. Klaravich and Lawrence made more than $8 million and won an amazing 41% of the time without a lot of starters. Of course, they had Bricks and Mortar. Barber, owner of War of Will, had a good year with 53% of starts in the money. Hronis Racing won last year but didn’t have an Accelerate this year.
Breeder: 1. George Strawbridge Jr., 2. Edward Cox Jr., 3. Alexander-Groves Thoroughbreds. I’m going to come clean on this and admit I sought advice from Jay Privman of the Daily Racing Form in this category. He didn’t tell me who to vote for but how to look deeper than starts and wins. So, I went with Strawbridge just because he’ll have horse of the year Bricks and Mortar. Cox bred Mitole and Alexander-Groves had Covfefe. All are smaller breeders rather than the mega-farms. I like that.
Trainer: 1. Chad Brown, 2. Steve Asmussen, 3. Brad Cox. This one falls pretty much like my breeders picks except all these trainers have big operations, although Asmussen’s is by far the biggest. And they’ve all had success with more than one horse. Brown trained Bricks and Mortar and Sistercharlie, Asmussen had Mitole and Midnight Bisou and Cox had Covfefe and British Idiom.
Horse of Year: 1. Bricks and Mortar, 2. Mitole, 3. Vino Rosso. No explanation needed.
Last race tragedy
Santa Anita had its first race fatality of the three-day old meeting when Golden Birthday was pulled up in the stretch by jockey Victor Espinoza, who was unseated. The 4-year-gelding was running his 10th race. He had won two races and was running in a 1 1/8-mile turf allowance for a purse of $57,000. Jim Cassidy was his trainer. For more just click here.
Who goofed, I’ve got to know?
It was me. In my 2020 predictions in the Wednesday newsletter, I said there will be two CHRB vacancies if Alex Solis leaves the board after getting his trainer’s license. There would actually be three: the Fred Maas and Madeline Auerbach openings.
Santa Anita review
Wednesday’s 10-race card was highlighted by the Grade 2 $200,000 Joe Hernandez Stakes for horses going 5 ½ furlongs on the turf. Texas Wedge stayed in the middle, started to move up on the turn and went three-wide in the stretch to win by ¾ length.
Texas Wedge paid $6.20, $4.00 and $3.20. Double Touch was second and Bay Muzik finished third. Joe Hernandez was the initial race caller at Santa Anita and worked from Dec. 25, 1934 until Jan. 27, 1972, when he collapsed calling a race.
Here’s what the winning connections in the race said.
Peter Miller (winning trainer): “When turf racing stopped in Kentucky, it was either turn him out or bring him home and we wanted to bring him home. That horse (Bay Muzik) has a lot of speed and he showed it. My other horse Captain Scotty tracked him and I thought for a second he was going to win it but then Texas Wedge got jostled around, he broke super sharp and we didn’t want him that close. Flavien did a great job as always and got him to settle and made that run.”
Flavien Prat (winning jockey): “This is a good way to start off the New Year. It’s nice to win a race like this for Peter. We broke sharp and he was a little tough with me on the backside, but once I got him covered up, he dropped the bit and relaxed beautifully. He’s a very consistent horse and at this distance, he’s really tough.”
Golden Gate weekend preview
Here’s our weekly look at the best racing going on at Golden Gate Fields. As with the last meeting, we’re delighted to have race caller and all-around good guy Matt Dinerman as our host for previews and other musings. So, take it away, Matt.
“Happy New Year, folks. We hope all of the newsletter readers have a prosperous 2020. With a new year comes all of our equine athletes turning a year older as well. So, happy birthday colts, geldings, fillies and mares.
“Golden Gate Fields kicked off our new year on Wednesday with a nine-race card. The feature, an allowance for 3-year-old fillies, was won by the Reina Gonzalez trained Smokin Hot Bobbie. Each one of our nine winners received a carrot gift basket to enjoy while back in the stables.
“Three more racing days this week (Friday-Sunday) with first post each day at 12:45 p.m. Leg C of the Stronach 5 wager goes as the third race at Golden Gate on Friday. The morning-line favorite is No. 5 Kiana’s Love, who broke her maiden in her first race at Santa Anita. Since the maiden win she has failed to win in four straight races. She moves to the barn of Jonathan Wong, who freshened her for four months and puts her in a starter allowance to kick off her Northern California racing career. My top pick is recent seven-length maiden winner No. 4 Morning Cynn, who appears to really like the Tapeta and has been working well since her maiden triumph. No. 2 Starza, cutting back from a route to a sprint, and No. 3 Moonshine Annie also merit consideration.
“Our Saturday program is strong with nine races, with a pair of maiden special weights and a trio of allowance races. The feature is the sixth, an allowance for 4-year-olds and up to start the late Pick 4. Brave Nation comes off a respectable third in the Grade 3 Berkley Handicap and is arguably the one to beat.
“Synthetic specialists Arch Prince, Harmon and Lymebird also possess appeal. Camino Del Paraiso didn’t fire his best shot in the Berkeley Handicap and returns in this spot, but his best effort makes him very competitive. More Power to Him is an Emerald Downs stakes winner that has run well on the Tapeta before. He merits a look with his “A” race. Another allowance on Saturday features the Mark Glatt conditioned Eldrich and Cupid’s Claws, who makes his first start for Steve Sherman after racing against allowance company in Southern California for Brian Koriner. Bay Area locals who figure to get support
include On Raglan Road, the Blaine Wright trained Upo and recent winner Gobsmack.
“Jockey Juan Hernandez had a terrific first week of racing at this meeting and leads the jockey standings over Catalino Martinez. In the trainer standings, Quinn Howey leads all trainers with four wins.”

MUSAWAAT (GB) saved ground stalking the pace, came out leaving the second turn then steadied while being fanned out into the stretch but gained the lead, drifted in and battled outside a rival in midstretch and held on gamely under urging. SOUTHERN KING chased outside then three deep on the second turn, came out four wide into the stretch and steadied when crowded in upper stretch, angled in and bid three wide in deep stretch and continued willingly. FARQUHAR stalked a bit off the rail then between horses into the second turn, angled to the inside into the stretch, bid along the fence in midstretch and just held third. RED KING bumped at the start, angled in and chased inside then outside a rival on the second turn, came out some in the stretch, was crowded in upper stretch and edged for the show. CRYSTAL TRIBE (IRE) stalked outside a rival, came three deep into the stretch, was fanned out four wide in upper stretch, continued between foes in the drive and was outfinished. STORM THE BASTILLE (FR) pulled between horses then chased between foes, found the inside on the second turn, came out past the eighth pole and put in a late bid between foes. SHINING THROUGH chased between horses then a bit off the rail leaving the second turn and in the stretch and could not quite summon the needed late kick. M TOWN GEM stalked three deep, came four wide into the stretch and lacked the necessary response. SOBERANO (FR) saved ground off the pace, continued inside into the stretch and did not rally. REAL MASTER (FR) four wide into the first turn, chased outside a rival then a bit off the rail leaving the second turn, came out and steadied when crowded in upper stretch and lacked the needed response.
